Introduction & Exterior

This fabulous, detached home will impress families seeking a home that is ready to move into. Built in 2016, the property is part of a modern development off Browns Lane to the north of Tamworth having excellent commuter links to the M42 and being walkable to local schools, the town centre and train station.

The house is set back from Memorial Drive behind a tarmac driveway that provides off-road parking for two cars side-by-side. At either side of the driveway are pleasant patches of lawn with trees and shrubbery to further enhance the attractive presentation of the exterior. The driveway precedes a garage door that opens to a storage garage, with the rear section being converted to utility room. A secure gate to the right of the garage opens to a side passage that leads round to the rear garden.

The garden is just as well presented as the interior and in the summertime acts as a third reception room to relax and entertain guests. It begins with a slabbed patio before continuing to a plush lawn that covers the majority of the ground space. The lawn is bordered by sleepers and to the right is a slightly raised second patio that is ideal for an outdoor furniture set, as depicted in the photos. Shrubbery has been planted to the borders with tall wooden fencing to the boundaries. There is also a wooden shed positioned in the far left corner.

Ground Floor

Viewers begin their visit by entering through a secure composite front door into a long hallway. Immediately of note is the stylish décor that includes wood-effect floor tiling and wall panelling. Doors from the hallway branch off to two reception rooms, the guest WC with wash basin, the kitchen, and a utility room. At the far end the hallway curves round to the right to the winding staircase rising up to the first floor.

The first room encountered to the left of the hallway is the dining room. Although the smaller of the two reception rooms, this is still an excellent size and comfortably holds a six-seater family table. Natural light is brought into the room via a double-glazed window at the front and it’s worth noting that all external doors and windows are double-glazed, as to be expected.

Given that dining is designated in a separate room, the lounge is an exceptional space to be dedicated to family relaxation. The flooring is carpeted and there is a wide set of French doors that open out to the patio. The doors are flanked by tall windows to maximise the brightness of the lounge.  

The kitchen features an attractive sage coloured suite with contrasting wood-effect laminated work surfaces. Integrated within the suite is a slimline dishwasher, fridge-freezer, electric oven and grill, and a four-burner gas hob with overhead extractor. To the right of the room is an exit door to the side passage. The washing machine plumbing has been installed in the utility room where there is also a deep storage cupboard that makes good use of the space under the staircase. The gas combination boiler is mounted to the upper wall in the utility room.

First Floor

As guests make their way up the winding staircase, they pass a side window midway up to a wonderful gallery landing. This is a marvellous area to display family photos and artwork if desired. The landing is a lovely open space with doors leading off to all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a handy linen cupboard. Above the landing is a hatch to access a large and thickly insulated loft space.

The bedrooms comprised of two double rooms and a generous single bedroom. The largest of the three, Bedroom One, is to the front of the house and features a large built-in wardrobe at the rear of the room and access to an en suite shower room at the front. The en suite comprises of a cubicle with electric shower, toilet and a pedestal wash basin.

The remining two bedrooms are positioned at the back of the house. Bedroom Two is another large double whereas Bedroom Three features more fabulous wall panelling. The family bathroom is the first doorway from the top of the staircase and includes a pleasant suite that comprises of a bathtub with storm shower fitted over, a pedestal wash basin, and a toilet.

TRANSPORT LINKS

The Memorial Drive development is a minute’s drive from Ashby Road at the north side of Tamworth. Ashby Road continues north to Junction 11 of the M42 (for Twycross & Burton) and therefore provides good links to Nottingham, Coventry and Birmingham. Local A-roads provide links to closer destinations such as Lichfield, Burton on Trent, Sutton Coldfield, Nuneaton and Hinckley.

The nearest train station to this home is Tamworth Railway Station which has split level platforms offering services to all major UK destinations including Birmingham & London.

A regular bus service operates from Ashby Road toward Tamworth Town Centre where there are many other bus services available to many areas in the Midlands and Staffordshire.

SCHOOLS & AMENITIES

Viewers with children will be delighted to learn that this home lies within a half mile walk of the catchment primary schools, Anker Valley Primary Academy and St Leonard’s CE Primary in Wigginton. Although the Landau Forte QEMs school is closer, the Staffordshire school’s website shows The Rawlett School (0.7 miles away) as the catchment. Although we have researched this information, we advise that prospective buyers make their own enquiries with the local authority to confirm catchment.

The nearest convenience store to the property is a large Co-Operative convenience store located at the beginning of the nearby new development, just off Brooklime Way, a short walk from the house. Further shops are found by travelling towards Tamworth Town Centre, with many major outlets at Ventura Retail Park. Tamworth is also home to a historic Castle as well as the Snowdome, Leisure Centres, Odeon Cinema and Ten Pin Bowling Alley amongst other places of interest.
